Question

as evident from issue 4 in the case study, Neo told a 'white lie' to the man in the grey suit while he was trespassing in the supplier tender room. a while lie is generally considered to be an unimportant lie that is told for the purpose of either being tactful , or polite. Neo was tactful with telling of this lie, because it not got him out of potential trouble, but he could also get away with the knowledge he had about possible tender irregularities.
Required: using the first practical imperative of deontological ethics, discuss whether the lie Neo told could be considered ethical
